Hé Wouter,

Hoe werkt boosten?
En als je iets waardeert wordt het dan een sterretje eronder?
Nieuw op Mastodon, vandaar...

Groet, Henk

If you want to use a different branch than the stable one, you need to fetch and checkout the branch before your perform the git pull.

@Horst Thieme this is a dedicated Friendica Admin forum for addressing practical issues of running a Friendica node!

PLEASE don't misuse this space as a news reply. Thanks

@Der Marek The feature works for me, I've fixed the awkward UX recently on develop: github.com/friendica/friendica…

Improving the display would be welcome, by using the regular modal window instead of the the colorbox for example.

Ahh okay, thank your very much! I pulled your PR and now the save works like a charm.

On the other hand, the background color is not fixed for frio dark / black.

I created an issue on github, elaborating my assumption for the cause for better discussion:

github.com/friendica/friendica…

Actually at least over here I also could create a positive list, restricting access to only predefined instances.

That said, the "asking for permission" is if some instance simply mirrors profiles "without asking for permission" each profile or instance it pretends to mirror or duplicate. This in any case is basically about good manners, not technical possibilities.

I didn't dig into some apparent nostr discussion itself but saw the possibility to register a profile for mirroring it. Well, actually the only way this could happen in a correct respectful manner is that a profile follows an account that than interpretates that following as a request or permission to be mirrored.

Not interested in supporting bluesky or disrespectful folks in any way so I guess this list comes kinda preemptive handy.
👍

@utopiArte @Castopod :podcasting2:
The post from castopod is encoded as a "Note" ActivityStream object:

{
    "@context": "https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams",
    "attributedTo": "https://cast.tupambae.com/@bitPickup",
    "cc": [
        "https://cast.tupambae.com/@bitPickup/followers"
    ],
    "content": "<a href=\"https://cast.tupambae.com/@bitPickup/episodes/cc0-nc\">CC0-NC</a><br/>Moin, moin.\r<br />\r<br />Hier ein erster Vorgeschmack.",
    "id": "https://cast.tupambae.com/@bitPickup/posts/d88b27ab-c8c2-461d-9ec6-ac684af2908f",
    "published": "2025-01-22T04:00:01+00:00",
    "replies": "https://cast.tupambae.com/@bitPickup/posts/d88b27ab-c8c2-461d-9ec6-ac684af2908f/replies",
    "to": [
        "https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams#Public"
    ],
    "type": "Note"
}

The point is: there is nothing in that Note object which says "it's a podcast". It's just a note that an episode is published, with a link to it. The fact that mastodon show the player is unrelated from the fact that the note links to a podcast. I'm sure the fact the link is the first thing in the note is a deliberated choice by castopod devs, to take advantage of Mastodon's behavior

I had expected that this would be some kind of activityPub convention of transmitting information about if a video or audio format is part of the content.

Yes there is: attachment property. But then Friendica will shows attachments as icons at the end of the post. Still without a player.

Castopod devs chose to create their ActivityStream object of type 'PodcastEpisode', which you can get requesting the AS version of the episode page

$ curl -s -H Accept:application/activity+json https://cast.tupambae.com/@bitPickup/episodes/cc0-nc | jq .

    }
  }
}

A note with a link is a reasonable way to post something understandable by everyone.

@Castopod :podcasting2: @utopiArte Mh, quick correction. if the link to the audio file is in an "attachment" property, friendica will show the player. Just as in this post

But from a semantic prospective (acting like I know what it means), the audio file is not attached to the note, but to the episode.
